Build

to build just execute:

make

Usage

docker run -ti \
-v $PWD/snmp.yml:/generator/snmp.yml \
-v $PWD/generator.yml:/generator/generator.yml \
-v $PWD/CISCO-6200-MIB:/generator/mibs/cisco.mib \
alex/snmp_exporter_generator:latest  generate

1. create a generator.yml file in your host containing the OIDs that you would like the tool to walk and generate a config file and mount it as a volume to /generator/generator.yml
2. create an empty snmp.yml file in your host where the generated configuration will be written, mount it in your container to /generator/generator.yml
3. mount the MIB file of the OIDs you would like to walk to the /generator/mibs/ directory (they can be several, depending on your walked OIDs).
4. By running generate the tool will write the result to the snmp.yml which afterwards you can trim as according to your needs.
